Perl Data Language

Scientific computing with Perl

Announcing the release of PDL 2.019
to CPAN. This release marks the move of PDL software
to unified github repositories and support. Thanks to Ed J for volunteering to suport PDL on
github and to make the move possible!

DKOGAN/PDL-FFTW3-0.02.2_01.tar.gz
has been released to CPAN with improved support for unaligned data. Feedback is welcome,
especially for the case of threaded computations of float data.

PDL ("Perl Data Language") gives standard Perl the ability to
compactly store and speedily manipulate the large
N-dimensional data arrays which are the bread and butter of
scientific computing.

PDL turns Perl into a free, array-oriented, numerical language similar
to (but, we believe, better than) such commercial packages as IDL and MatLab.
One can write simple perl expressions to manipulate entire numerical arrays
all at once. Simple interactive shells, pdl2 and perldl,
are provided for use from the command line along with the PDL module
for use in Perl scripts.
